Monday make-over how-to: Locks in Loose Curls!

For loose waves, simply follow these steps before bed:

1. After letting wet hair dry a little, apply product like a gel or mousse loosely throughout damp locks.

2. Part your hair into four or five equal sections and braid them each securing the base with a rubber band.  For tighter curls, take each braid and twirl them into a bun and supporting them with another elastic or clip.

4. Sleep with these braid buns in your hair, so that by morning, your hair will have dried in crimped waves.

5. Remove the elastics from your hair and with a gentle hand, run your fingers loosely to undo each braid.

6. Do not use a comb to your hair – but instead, scrunch your hair with your fingers freeing the waves to appear, and mist generously with your favorite hair spray while tossing your hair.

7. For extra waves, consider a wide barrel curling iron to accentuate pieces throughout your sexy mane and finish the desired look of loose curled locks!

Winter Hair Care Tips

  1. Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind. Make sure that it’s not so tight where it will restrict circulation in your scalp.
  2. Use a conditioner daily.
  3. Once you have your hair moist, lock in the moisture by running your hair through cold water; this will also give your hair an extra shine.
  4. Don’t go outside with your hair wet, you risk breakage. Your hair will freeze if it’s cold enough outside and may break.
  5. Limit your use of “hot” items on your hair such as a blow dryers and curling irons.
  6. If you need to use a “hot” item use a leave in conditioner before using the item on your hair.
  7. Avoid taking hot showers or washing your hair in hot water. Use warm or cool water instead, the heat can dry out and/or damage your hair and skin.
  8. Hair products that have the word, “Replenish” on it is made to moistureize your hair.
  9. Try using a dry shampoo if you need to wash out your hair. One dry shampoo you can use is baby powder, simply sprinkle some onto your hair and use a comb to comb it off.

Myth Monday: Salon Hair Care Products VS. Drug Store

Have you ever wondered if those salon shampoos and sprays are really worth the extra cash? Well, we found out in most cases they are. Salon products generally contain higher quality, more expensive ingredients that are designed to consistently provide more intensive cleansing, moisturizing and conditioning results. It is a rare to find drug store products that contain the high quality ingredients that salon products contain. You can, however, try to match certain ingredients found in the higher quality brands to the cheaper ones.

Myth Monday: Rinsing hair with beer will make it thicker

Bizarre, yes but its true! I couldn’t believe this when I heard it but a final rinse of beer at the end of your shower will leave you with more voluminous strands. Supposedly, the beer builds up the circumference of the hair shafts giving it more lift. It can also leave hair softer, shiny and possibly help it grow. One caveat: You may smell like a frat house until the scent dissipates. Instead, try a thickening shampoo with hops, like Aussie Real Volume Shampoo ($4). I think I’ll stick with the shampoo!
